James,

Have you tried the following?  I interpret that to mean that the index
fill will contain a group like this:

[ Molecules ]
i1 i2 i3 i4 i5 i6 ….. in

Where each i term corresponds to a particular molecule within the
system, and that number i will match up with the residue numbers.  So
can either make that by hand, that there should be also a method via
make_ndx to output the residue numbers into a group too.

Catch ya,
